of Aviation. Flying in to talk to latter people in AOPA's
CitationJet,
as the Office is located on an airport.

Rudy is much of a voice for aviation in Ohio.


Rudy _was_ the voice for aviation in Ohio. He's moved on to Port
Authority Director out in a big city in the Northwest. He meekly told
media out there that he was "just an airplane guy." We in our airport
association had met him. A pilot himself in the state's little twin,
but on around 60K salary didn't fly his own plane AFAIK. He probably
had perspective on AOPA lobbying, but I still criticize AOPA for telling
any official in my Ohio that I can't afford $100, for the pure purpose
of telling members in the other 49 that AOPA is working for you. The
"onerous tax" per AOPA's mag.
